Sigurd Research Paper

Sigurd isn’t a perfect hero since he has character flaws. His flaws being that he trusts people too easily. Which leads him to be manipulated into his marriage to Gunnar’s sister, and almost following Regin’s plan that almost killed him. His lack of perfection adds to his heroic image since it makes him relatable to the readers. When the readers see a hero who has faults like them, they can sympathize with them and root for them to win their adventures.

Beowulf, a legendary hero of Geatish lore, from the epic poem named after him, is the definition of a hero. There is one being who can be collated to Beowulf: the mighty Thor, god of thunder. Derived from Norse mythology, Thor is hot-headed, with an appetite for food and drink. He also is one of the strongest gods, serving as the protector of the people. Both of these characters share similar qualities in what some would define a hero, despite one being a man, and the other being a deity.

The mythologies and folktales of cultures within Ancient Europe are all very different, yet peculiarly similar in the depiction of heroes. Although what makes a hero heroic is very subjective, the prominent choice of character is usually the same. The Celtic and the Vikings both had similar characteristics and traits for their mythological heroes. In the Celtic and the Viking mythologies the heroes are similar in the sense that honor, justice, courage, intelligence, and beauty are all desired and, of course, important traits. Heroes are subjective due to individuals emotional and influenced taste in appearance and action of the “hero.” In this case, Finn and Thor show similar traits and characteristics, which satisfy the desires of the readers and/or believers of the religion.

Sima Gleichgewicht-Wasser, she was born and raised in Warsaw. She was raised in a traditional Jewish home. On the 15 November, 1940, the germans opened a ghetto called Legionowo, 16 miles northeast of Warsaw. She worked as a smuggler to get food to her family. The police stopped her many times and confiscated her food. One time a german guard stopped her and try to make her admit she was Jewish but she never did so he got a German Shepard to bite her and tear pieces of her skin off to make her admit but she never did. One day Sima snuck out and on her way back acquaintance stopped her and told her don't go back where her family was that the ghetto was liquidated. After that day October 4, 1942, she never saw her family again. She had to find a new place to

1. Scenario: You are the first responding officer to a “dead body” call.  The body is located on a dirt road in a remote area that can be best described as “desert terrain.”  As you approach the crime scene in your patrol vehicle, you notice the body lying in the middle of the road.  Around the body are numerous large rocks and bushes.  You also notice the following in and around the crime scene:

Every city has that one basketball game that everyone goes to. The game that brings the crowd to their feet. That one game that brings thousands of people to the audience, and leave them with something to talk about for the remainder of their lives. Saginaw High vs Arthur Hill boys basketball game is filled with people from all over the state, filled with future NBA players and lots of drama. Saginaw High is located in the poorest and the most dangerous parts of Saginaw,Mi. Just imagine a neighborhood with only three houses on each block and sounds like Fourth of July firecrackers going off every night knowing someone just died. So every year, Saginaw

I would tell someone who has never met Sandy Sewell that her witty personality and exuberance for life, as she tells her life story, is what defines her as an individual and not her physical disabilities. At first glance you will notice that she is quadriplegic and confined to a wheelchair but I would assure the person that her appearance is deceiving because she is truly an inspirational person. For instance, you might initially be surprised by her gregarious charm and enthusiasm for life as a disabled woman. Her passion for living the best possible life is evident when she discusses her role as an advocate for the disabled in creating her organization the Rockland Social Network. The organization gives disabled individuals in Rockland

The article Right-of-way gentrification conflict, commodification and cosmopolitanism by Sig Langegger, looks at the idea of gentrification through three different lenses. The conflict aspect, the change in economic value, and the effects on specific ethnic groups. The article brings attention to large problems in Denver as a result of Gentrification. Street parking has become a huge issue and the City tends to favor retail customers over homeowners involving the parking spaces in front of their homes. according to Langeggers interview with nearby homeowners, "One resident uses traffic cones to save the parking space in front of his house; another boasted of once deflating an offending car's tires as 'payback' for stealing his spot" Langegger (2015) para 18. I think this statement says a lot about the issues homeowners are facing with gentrification that exhibit more than financial problems. They cannot even find parking in front of their own home.

Part 1 of this paper debunked the notion that immigrants are inherently more criminal or of lesser intelligence than native residents, and since then, I have spent time working with immigrants at Siloam Family Health Center. Siloam patients are a diverse bunch, and they vary in their country of origin, first language, legal status according to the U.S. government, reason for coming to America, and experience once arriving here. The biggest thing I am leaving my time at Siloam with is that “immigrants” cannot simply be lumped into one enormous category, and individuals who come to America each hold their own story. Working at Siloam has been a transformative experience, and spending time weekly with immigrants has brought me a higher understanding of the specific strengths and challenges that new residents face.

A reemerging issue, that has once again surfaced in the town of Shabbona, Illinois, is the debate of whether the Potawatomi Nation tribe should build a casino in Shabbona. According to an article by Rhonda Gillespie, titled, DeKalb County, Potawatomi Nation tribe moving forward with casino plans, this issue has taken about a seven or eight year break and is now again becoming a hot topic (Gillespie). Shabbona has recently gone through an issue that was a hot debate. That issue was bringing in wind turbines onto farm ground. That issue was not miniscule and neither is this one. Even over the seven or eight year break there has been steady talk about whether the casino would be appropriate or the best thing for the small town of Shabbona. The

In society, there are many different types of heroes. Heroes throughout time have changed and from culture to culture they differ for example, in the early times they were defined as someone who will lead them into battle but now it's more about having a positive impact on other people and society as a whole. Although cultural heroes ultimately serve the purpose of solidifying the values of a particular culture, the ever changing, dynamic nature of heroism identifies itself as one who is selfless, relentless and brave. The Anglo-Saxon hero, Beowulf, is a brave, well respected and selfless person that will do anything for the good of the people and he will even risk his life to protect them.

As Wagga Wagga is 147m above sea level, the altitude difference can affect the young athletes’ performance as it is initially less efficient due to them not being able to get a sufficient amount of oxygen to work the muscles throughout the body. The thinness of the air can increase chances of altitude sickness including headaches, dizziness and nausea. As the team only arrived 20 minutes before the scheduled start of play, they may not have had enough time to acclimatize and properly warm up before the game, causing players to become fatigue a lot quicker and possibly injuring themselves. There is less air resistance due to the air being thinner, allowing the ball to move faster and further through the air, increasing chances of direct injuries

Gern1any consists of sixteen separate states, who govern themselves, with the largest of them being Bavaria. Gern1any is bordered by many thriving nations such as Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg which have all chosen German as the national language. This superpower of a country has left its mark on many culture Though the Netherlands and Gern1any are separate lands they share the same ancestors of the Germanic race. Some Northern Germans speak in a dialect that is sounds close to the Dutch language that it can be picked up in mannerisms by natives. German is the most taught language around the world and is made 35 different dialects.

For some unexplained reason, on our way back to the cabin after a successful couple of hours on the lake, my thoughts drifted back to my childhood again. This time I was fishing for American Shad from the shore of the Hudson River at Crawbucky Beach. Shad is a salt water fish from the Atlantic Ocean. They are a silver scaled fish with black spots on its back and adult shad often reach the weight of 4 or 5 pounds. Each spring the shad return to the Hudson River to spawn in their ancient hatcheries.
